Based on the tragic historical event of Nanjing Massacre (where Japanese invaded the city of Nanjing in China during the WWII and about 300,000 chinese soldiers and civilians were killed and may they be in peace I don't know how many women were raped by the terror that was Japanese Imperial Army,also is definitely one of the most tragic day in the history of China).Plot is nothing extraordinary brings you through the cruelty of war and how people have to suffer through it and the most tragic aspect of it.What I like though is that it's beautifully captured in Black and White,which fits the mood of the entire movie perfectly gives it an extra sense of emotion if it wasnt emotion enough in the first place.Everysinge moment in the movie feels like a perfect Black and White picture.Beautifully captured,really is.It is also very critically acclaimed won numerous awards for Hong Kong Film Festival and also the Asian Film Festival.Best Director during the Asian Film Festival if im not mistaken and totally deserve it.What great movie making.Also alot of credits need to go to Mr.Cao Yu the brilliant cinematographer who captured the movie in such brilliant visuals.
